The Bavaria 42 is a sail boat from Bavaria. Founded in 1978 at Giebelstadt in Bavaria, the yard builds on a series production line unusual in boatbuilding. It specialises in cruising monohulls from 34 to 57 feet and a smaller range of motor yachts, and is one of the main suppliers to Mediterranean charter fleets. The hull measures about 13.4 metres. It sleeps up to 9.
Adriavela lists 7 boats of this model. They were built between 2000 and 2023, so the layout and the equipment differ from one hull to the next. The hulls here carry 3 to 4 cabins and 6 to 9 berths.
They leave from bases up and down the coast, Rhodes New Marina, Alimos Marina and Salamis Yachting Club among them. A 7-day charter starts at €1,320, which is €188 a day. A monohull of this size takes a full crew and still handles like a sailing boat, which is what most skippered weeks on this coast are booked for.
